We used to have passenger rail service in Sarasota, years ago, to other cities. I propose that we have passenger (electric) rail service within the city for local trips, and with park and ride lot/structures at the city limits.
Since the acquisition of right of way would be very expensive, the best way to add trains to Sarasota would be an elevated railway. However, the video shows a train using the street along with cars, so that is possible as well. If the street rail is chosen cars will not be able to use the same part of the street at the same time the train does. Still, the train moves as many people as eight lanes of highway so it may be a good trade. |
